Explore the Planet Distances Chart: see the average distance of each planet from the Sun in a simple interactive visualization!
In our system, we have 4 terrestrial planets, 4 gas giants, and a mysterious 9th planet. Let''s go over them, but first, here''s a quick rundown of each planet in order of size and distance from the sun.
Planet_distances_Table Table of Planetary Distances
Explore the distances between planets, Earth, and the Sun, plus their brightness and apparent size in the sky at any given time.
Below is a table of the distances between each of the planets in our solar system. The distance among each of the eight planets in our Solar System will alter depending on where each
Find out how far each planet is from Earth and from other planets in our
There is a huge amount of different in the distances between the planets depending on their position on their orbit path. The table below shows the eight planets and the average distance between them.
Tip: To make your 1-page model of the solar system, highlight the AU distance the planet is found from Earth. Remember to round your figure to the nearest 0.1 when you mark your measurement!
